Hi, it's great that you've found your way to this site and are taking the time to read this text. In fact, I don't want to keep you for long, there's a lot to discover (not necessarily just here, the Internet is vast and full of wonders). But if you want to take a look around here, I'd be very happy if you did. What you can expect: a bunch of texts about video games and most importantly soundtracks. Being born in 92 I was blessed growing up with gems like The Settlers 2, Half-Life 2, and the Flight Simulator 98 . Back then, I played pretty much everything on the PC that my gaming fingers could get their hands on.

What has always fascinated me most about video games, films and series was the music. Because of the music from The Sims I began playing the piano. Unfortunately, my talent was at a similar level to my strategic understanding of Anno 1602I started collecting soundtracks when I got my first PC. My collection now comprises almost 2800 albums (as of April 2023), and my goal is to have heard them all - heard and rated them. Why? A simple collecting instinct and the desire to make musical discoveries.

But because this really does involve a lot of work and, above all, time, I would like to share my experiences with you. Of course, like any form of art, music is subjective. But if you hear Call of Duty 2 does that make you think of good music? Or did you know that the same composer of Dragon Age: Origins and Crysis ? Or that the piano pieces from the above-mentioned Sims was in fact freestyled? Well now you do. I promise no revelations, no ultimate ratio. Just my opinion and my knowledge. Partly nostalgically glorified, always subjectively colored. If that's enough for you, you'll find a few tips and hints for good and bad music on this website. For a condensed impression of the wonderful world of game music, I recommend taking a look at my list of Top 100 video game tracks, in which I (obviously) list the my 100 best titles from video games. Have fun browsing!

The Rogue Prince of Persia

12. June 2024 /

Ich sag es direkt vorweg: Ich bin kein Fan vom (Artstyle des) neuen Prince of Persia. Der Back-to-the-roots-Ansatz mag seinen Charme besitzen, auf mich wirkt das Spiel jedoch eher wie ein Mobile-Ableger, der es irgendwie auf PC und Konsole geschafft hat. Mich begeistert weder das Gameplay, noch der Look. Vielleicht werde ich es mir irgendwann im Sale holen und feststellen, wie toll das Abenteuer vom violetten Prinzen ist – who knows?

Prince of Persia

27. October 2019 /

Kommt, setzt euch zu mir. Ich möchte euch eine Geschichte erzählen. Eine Geschichte über einen jungen Mann aus einem fernen Land. Der Mann ist kein gewöhnlicher Reisender, aber auch kein Prinz, wie man glauben könnte. Er ist sportlich und gut aussehend, kann kämpfen und klettern. Außerdem ist er humorvoll und besitzt eine Stimme, die man nicht so schnell vergisst. Dieser Prinz trifft auf seiner Reise auf eine Gruppe Männer, die eine Frau verfolgen. Auch diese Frau ist keine gewöhnliche Dame in Nöten, sondern eine Prinzessin, und die Männer, die ihr folgen, die Wächter ihres Vaters, des Königs. Auch die Prinzessin ist wunderschön, sportlich und schlagfähig. Doch nutzt sie keine Waffen.…
